History
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory's first franchise with the celebration of the store opening on July 4, 1982. In the shadows of Pikes Peak, nestled between the Garden of the Gods and Seven Falls, is a place combining the adventurous spirit of a frontier town and the wholesome values of days gone by...Old Colorado City. Located just west of modern day downtown Colorado Springs it still retains the individuality and charm that made it Colorado's first Capital. There you will find the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, where we stubbornly cling to the old ways, making every piece of chocolate candy, every caramel apple, and every loaf of fudge by hand.
